Are you by any chance using the binaries distributed on www.paraview.org? If so, are you trying to to run the pvserver with mpiexec/mpirun? The distributed binaries are not built with MPI support so cannot be run with mpi. I am asking this since in your error messages there seem to be some mpiexec error messages.
